Get everyone's holiday photos into one album before you're home

Ten people, ten phones and the best photos stuck on someone else's camera roll. Set up one Google Photos shared album and a message so everyone adds theirs.

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me collect everyone's photos from a trip into one shared album.

The trip or event: [e.g. family week in Cornwall, a hen do]
Who's coming: [number of people, and whether they use iPhone or Android]
Who should add photos: [everyone, or just some]
Privacy: [e.g. no photos of the children shared outside the family]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. An album name and a short description.
2. A friendly message for the group chat with the link and two simple steps to add photos.
3. A short privacy note: who can see the album, and that anyone with the link can view and add.
4. When to turn off link sharing once everyone's added theirs.
5. A one-line reminder to send on the last day.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. e.g. family week in Cornwall, a hen do: a short note you already have. number of people, and whether they use iPhone or Android: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
